IT’S WEEK 2 OF THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SEASON IN WYOMING AND THE CODY BRONCS ARE LOOKING TO IMPROVE ON THEIR 28-6 VICTORY OVER RIVERTON LAST WEEK. IT WAS A SLOW START FOR THE BRONCS IN THE FIRST HALF BUT THEY GOT THINGS ROLLING IN THE SECOND HALF BEHIND 200 RUSHING YARDS AND 3 RUSH TD’S FROM 3 DIFFERENT PLAYERS. RUNNING BACK DEPTH WAS CRUCIAL IN THE BRONCS WIN AND HEAD COACH MATT MCFADDEN TALKS ABOUT THAT PERFORMANCE.
“I THINK THERE’S TWO PARTS TO IT. I THINK ONE PART IS RUNNING BACK DEPTH AND THE OTHER PART IS JUST YOU HAVE TO GIVE KUDOS TO OUR OFFENSIVE LINE. I MEAN IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO’S RUNNING THE BALL THEY’RE PROVIDING HOLES. I WAS HAPPY, WE HAD A LOT OF SOPHOMORES BACK THERE RUNNING THE BALL, REESE WARD IS A JUNIOR AND A KID THAT’S JUST WORKED HIS TAIL OFF FROM THE DAY HE’S STARTED PLAYING FOR US. SO LIKE I SAID OUR OFFENSIVE LINE, THAT’S A SIGN OF A GOOD O-LINE, IS IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO’S BACK THERE. WE’RE OPENING HOLES. I THOUGHT THEY DID GREAT JOB IN SECOND HALF .”
UP NEXT IS A CLASH WITH THE WORLAND WARRIORS AND COACH MCFADDEN OUTLINES A MATCH-UP TO WATCH.
“THEY’VE GOT A QUARTERBACK WHO’S HALF QUARTERBACK, HALF FULL BACK. KIND OF REMINDS ME OF TIM TEBOW. HE’S A GREAT ATHLETE AND A HECK OF A LEADER. SO WE’VE GOT TO SHUT HIM DOWN. HE’S A WORKHORSE ON THE TEAM, AND THEN THESE TALENTED RECIEVERS. WE CAN’T LET THEM BIG PLAY US. REALLY HAVE TO MAKE THEM WORK TO GET DOWN THE FIELD. REALLY GOT TO STOP THE BIG PLAYS.”
LAST WEEK COACH MCFADDEDN CHALLENGED THE O AND D LINES AND THEY ROSE TO THE OCCASION AND THIS WEEK IF THE BRONCS ARE GOING TO COME AWAY VICTORIES LOOK FOR A PARTICULAR GROUP ON OFFENSE TO GET THINGS GOING.
“I THINK ON OFFENSE, OUR PASSING GAME. OUR WIDE RECIEVERS AND OUR QUARTERBACK, I’D LIKE TO SEE THOSE GUYS GET GOING AND BE ON THE SAME PAGE AND OPEN THAT UP A LITTLE BIT. ON DEFENSE I THINK JUST THE OPPOSITE, OUR DEFENSIVE BACKS. WE GAVE UP A COUPLE PLAYS WE WEREN’T HAPPY WITH AND WE NEED TO CLEAN THAT UP.”
THE CODY BRONCS TRAVEL INTO WORLAND FOR A MATCH-UP WITH THE WARRIORS FRDAY (TODAY) AND YOU CAN LISTEN TO ALL THE ACTION ON KODI AM 1400 AND 96.7 FM WITH PRE-GAME AT 6:40 AND KICK-OFF AT 7PM.
